Infectious Diseases Fellowship

Formal Conferences and Didactic Sessions

There are a number of formal conferences and didactic sessions throughout the two-year fellowship.

A weekly divisional grand rounds is held on Wednesday at noon where a variety of topics including basic and clinical research as well as clinical updates are presented by expert speakers from Mount Sinai and other institutions.

A weekly fellow case conference is held on Tuesday at 5PM. Fellows present interesting cases from the consult services, the HIV service, or clinic. The case presentations are complemented by a review of the relevant medical literature. Our monthly divisional morbidity and mortality conference is incorporated into the weekly case conference schedule.

There is a core curriculum lecture series that meets approximately twice monthly on Friday at 8AM. This formal lecture series covers the topics required by the ACGME and spans the two-year fellowship.

A monthly journal club is supervised by Dr. Stephanie Factor. Both recent and “landmark” articles will be reviewed and key concepts in the critical review of the literature will be taught.

Weekly microbiology rounds are held in the microbiology laboratory at both sites.

A monthly divisional research conference is held on Thursday at 12PM. New and ongoing research projects are reviewed.
